Mark VK4TI and I enjoyed the activation this morning at Wurtulla beach. It was overcast but a nice temp with no wind. We setup just off the beach on the dune to get the antennas up high for the chasers to the south and west. A perfect view to watch the surfers. Propagation was a bit average but we managed enough contacts. Thank you to the chasers. 

Equipment used: Xiegu X6100 running R1CBU firmware v.0.17.1, the Maddog coil with military style whip elevated about 1 metre with counterpoise wires. Also deployed was the EFHW wire antenna up around 8 metres which Mark used with his Xiegu G90.

My contacts: Mark VK4TI, Alan VK1AO, Bill VK4FW, Bob VK2BYF, Kelly VK4KTW, Ray VK4DXA, Peter VK3PF, Gerard VK2IO, Mike VK4MWL, John VK4MUD, Alan VK2MET, Josh VK2MES, Steve VK4VCO, Andy VK5LA, John ZL3MR, Steven KG5CIK, Greg VK2EXA, John VK7XX.
